A family-friendly story of the Battle of Gettysburg enhanced by modern images and perfect for all ages.

This is a book like no other. It is a family-friendly story of the Battle of Gettysburg for everyone, no matter their age. Powerful modern images enhance an easy-to-read narrative. Fascinating sidebars create an engaging volume that is informative and entertaining but also sympathetic and reverent. Our familiar guides, Liam and Jaden, now joined by their teen brother Jesse, lead young readers and their families on a journey through the Gettysburg story that is immediate and alive.

Gregory Christianson is an author and photographer, lives in Gettysburg, and has been walking the battlefield near his family home since he was a child. The idea for this book came about when he realized there were few books suitable for younger readers and families. Gregory is the author of the well-received Gettysburg Kids Who Did the Impossible! (Savas Beatie, 2019), Gettysburg! Fast Facts for Kids and Families (Savas Beatie, 2023), the former publisher and editor of the award-winning Unsung Hero Magazine, and The Reconciliation of All Things.

“One of the best combined history-pictorial books I have read. Great for persons of any age. Everyone should read it for the story and then study the paintings and photos.” ~Terry Fox, American History teacher and Licensed Battlefield Guide

“Another wonderful book by Gregory Christianson. His young guides, Liam and Jaden, will help readers connect with the Battle of Gettysburg. A great way for parents and children to get excited about American History.” ~Wendy Bream Stoner, Pennsylvania Farm Bureau Teacher of the Year, 2021

“Provides a view of the Battle of Gettysburg that you won’t find elsewhere. Chock-full of beautiful illustrations. An engaging read for children and teens (and their parents!). Shows that ‘the Civil War was fought by real people with real families, just like you and me.’” ~Janet Morgan Riggs, former president, Gettysburg College
